Student Authorship of Learning How ePortfolios at IU Indianapolis Empower Student Success

Abstract

Indiana University Indianapolis builds ePortfolios into student educational pathways beginning in the first year. Students are asked to begin with the end in mind, shaping a narrative for family members, prospective employers, graduate schools, and future collaborators -- and for themselves, as they reflect on their own capacities and learning styles. The result is a measurable increase in learning, persistence, and equity.
